8 months ago I don't know if you're still interested, but I found the issue. There's a issue with permissions on the /usr/local/src/companion/module-local-dev/raspberry-gpio folder which prevents the dependencies from being installed.
to fix the permissions you can run
$ sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/src/companion/module-local-dev/raspberry-gpio
followed by
$ npm install
Which will install the dependancies called for by the package.json file and everything should work.
Also, you said "Manually install nvm v14.21.2" which threw me off for a while. it's node v14.21.2 not nvm v14.21.2. for anyone following along at home, run
$ curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.6/install.sh | bash $ export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm" [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm [ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" # This loads nvm bash_completion $ nvm install v14.21.2
and then continue with installing npm.

I have finally gotten the connection to show up (there is no documentation on how to install this so that would be helpful in the readme file maybe?). I followed the directions below from another post, but now when I try to add the connection I get the following message
Failed: TimeoutError: Timed out after 5s.
I see there are other people commenting that they are getting the same message so I thought I would start a new issue to see if we can get this figured out. Here are the steps I followed from another person's post
1 - new SD card created from the 2.4.1 companion pi image 2 - $ cd /usr/local/src/companion 3 - $ sudo git submodule add -f https://github.com/bitfocus/companion-module-raspberry-gpio.git module-local-dev/raspberry-gpio 4 - $ cd module-local-dev/raspberry-gpio 5 - $ -- Manually install nvm v14.21.2 (NOT THE LATEST VERSION) 6 - $ sudo apt install npm 7 - $ npm install -g yarn 8 - $ yarn add onoff 9 - $ sudo reboot
